Mi circle

Chapter 12 The Star Is the Product

23
According to the regulations, Shu Yue has a 3-month vacation, but this circle is special, it is related to the future of the artist, and the opportunities change rapidly. Although you can work from home, you must go to the occasions you need to see. That is unavoidable.This best friend Xiao Ya really has nothing to say to her, and the promised company shares have been fulfilled.Xiao Ya's current position in her career is the result of years of hard work. She worked day and night, started as an ordinary broker, and later accumulated some funds and contacts. With Xiao Yi's help, she established her own company.In life, Xiao Ya arranged two nannies to help Shu Yue take care of Mu Mu.Shu Yue understands Xiao Ya's ambition, she wants to make the company bigger and stronger.Shu Yue is gentle and introverted on the outside, but strong and forbearing on the inside.Xiao Ya has a hearty personality and a strong woman. Their personalities complement each other.

Xue Mingming: Sister Shu Yue, I have been admitted to a key high school, and I heard that your baby is born, can I come and see you?

Shu Yue: Don't bother, villain, I take your wish

Xue Mingming: I want what I want. If I hadn't met you, I would still be dawdling like that.So please allow me to come and see you.

Shu Yue still wanted to continue to refuse.

Xue Mingming: I'm at your door

The doorbell rang, and my aunt went to open the door.Xue Mingming came in bouncing around.

"Hi, Sister Shu Yue" Ming Ming smiled sweetly, carrying a lot of things in his hand, and his head was a fine person.After Xue Mingming entered the door, he started to get busy. He began to wash and cut the fruit for Shu Yue, and came over with a plate after a while.Seeing her smiling face, Shu Yue knew in his heart that this cunt must have something to ask of her.Xiao Ya has already reminded her to keep a distance from this Y-head. Most adolescent children are rebellious, and they are very worried that some of the company's business secrets will be leaked.

"Sister, you should eat more. I see that you are getting thinner and thinner. In fact, you look good with makeup on. Sister, you belong to the good-looking and good-looking type, just like that star..." Xue Mingming let's start. Get up.

"What's your matter, tell me." Shu Yue felt his head ache.

"Sister, I want to sign up for "Let's Dance", please help me..."

"That's not suitable for you. You have just been admitted to a key high school. Work hard and go to a first-class university in China."

"Why, I saw that many teenage girls signed up, and some of my classmates also participated."

"Then do you have talent?" Shu Yue asked calmly.

"When I was young, my parents enrolled me in dance classes. I was always unwilling to learn, and often cheated, and then I didn't learn."

"Then don't be a denominator." Shu Yue persuaded.

"I want to be a better version of myself, is that wrong?" Xue Mingming asked suddenly.

Shu Yue doubted the motive of this gimmick, "It's true that you want to become a better version of yourself, but what's the point of being cannon fodder for the denominator for no reason?"

"Everyone has a dream. My dream is to become an artist. I can be in the same company as Brother Lin Yu and see him every day!" Xue Mingming said, with a kind of light in his eyes.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. How many artists can truly succeed? In this circle, waves are washing away the sand. If you sing today, he will appear on the stage tomorrow.Many people who become popular because of a song become passers-by after a while, earning a living in nightclubs, precarious.The actor who acted in a TV series became popular because of one drama, and then there were no works and no resources.Shu Yue thought for a while and thought that instead of trying to kill this child's dream, it is better to guide her to try and make a short-term plan. Even if she loses, she will give up.She thought of her childhood dream, what she liked to do, and was rejected by her mother, and she couldn't help feeling sympathetic.When a mother is born, maternal love is overflowing.

"If not, then make a plan for yourself from now on, work hard, and participate in the third season of "Let's Dance" next year. The prerequisite is that you can't affect school and homework. Do you think it can be done? " Shu Yue said, thinking in her heart that if this head has something to do, she won't come to her place often, and she doesn't want to move to escape such things.

"Really? Sister Shu Yue, you said that..." Xue Mingming jumped up. "Then I'm leaving, I'm going to act now."

"Remember to show me your test results." Shu Yue took responsibility.

"No problem, OK!" Xue Mingming took his bag, made a gesture, and ran away quickly.

It's a strange fate, Shu Yue himself can't figure it out, why he can't get involved with this Y-head, the first time they met, he was splashed with coffee, and after that, Y-head asked him again and again for help to see Lin Yu, Xiao Ya has already Remind her again.But Shu Yue always felt that Xue Mingming had a certain quality, smart, mischievous, daring to act, unrestrained, like a spoiled rich second generation, but he was such a nymphomaniac to Lin Yu.

That night, Shu Yue received a message from Xue Mingming, "I have signed up for the dance class, and I will practice dancing every day after school, next summer "Let's Dance"" Shu Yue smiled and shook his head.

24 Monday regular meeting
Two days ago, Shu Yue received a notice to attend a meeting at the company next Monday.Xiao Ya had already informed her of the meeting in advance. In order to make the company bigger and stronger, the company plans to introduce new shareholders while it is currently on the rise.This new shareholder is a certain capital tycoon with a wide network of contacts.Xiao Ya asked Li Shuyue if she had any comments or suggestions, and Li Shuyue said that she only understood works and art.In terms of business management, she believed in Xiao Ya and Xiao Yi.Shopping malls are like battlefields, and big fish eat small fish. Only by growing bigger and forming your own scale and pattern in the rising stage can you occupy a place in the circle.Shu Yue has no objection to this, and since she doesn't hold many shares, Shu Yue often feels that she hasn't made much contribution to the company.

In addition to the new shareholders, there was also a young girl in the conference room.The other four are Xiao Yi, Xiao Ya, Shu Yue and the CEO.

"Hello, Peter, I'm finally looking forward to you!" Xiao Ya stretched out her hand to shake Mr. Chen's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" Peter Chen held Xiao Ya's hand, "You brothers and sisters are amazing, the company is running so well, and I am very happy to join your young people's industry!"

"Peter has won the prize!" Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Peter's riding skills really impress Xiao!"

"Last year, when Xiao Yi and I met at the racecourse, we finally met our opponent! We had a great conversation!" Mr. Chen suddenly started talking, "Afterwards, we often ran into each other at the same training ground and trained together. it's fate!"

"Peter's riding skills may be difficult for me to catch up in my life, shame on me!" Xiao Yi continued.

"Brother Xiao, I can't compare to each other in swimming," Mr. Chen joked.

"Father, Uncle Xiao, you guys are starting to catch up again...don't forget about me!" said the young girl next to her.

"Oh, by the way, this is my daughter, Chen Jiayi, who just came back from studying abroad, and she wants to come to the company as an intern artist." Mr. Chen looked like a daughter slave.

"Of course, no problem." Xiao Ya said immediately.

"Jiayi, show sister Xiao Ya your resume," Mr. Chen reminded

"I don't need to look at it, Mr. Chen. I'll take it to the HR manager in a while and go through the internship procedures." Xiao Ya said with a smile, and handed Chen Jiayi's resume to Shu Yue. "Mr. Chen, Li Shuyue, the company's star manager and one of the shareholders, do you think Jiayi will be with Shuyue in the future?" Xiao Ya introduced Shuyue.

"Hello, Mr. Chen" Shu Yue

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved of your arrangement." Mr. Chen agreed without hesitation.

Shu Yue excused her resume to the HR department and exited the VIP conference room. When she left, she heard Chen Jiayi's voice, "Dad, Uncle Xiao, I heard that Li Shuyue only joined the company last year. Before she came in, Lin Yu was already very popular. Later, Yemei heard that she made Lin Yu more popular. Can I follow her?" The shareholder's daughter is bound to be difficult to serve, Shu Yue felt a little displeased, and left silently.

Shu Yue came to his office, opened his resume,
Chen Jiayi, born in 1999, graduated from a university in a certain country majoring in design.He looks ordinary and is 170 tall.Shu Yue looked at her resume, why young people nowadays like to enter this industry, star halo, although the road to fame is difficult, but once famous, fame and fortune can be earned, the income that ordinary people can't imagine.But Chen Jiayi probably didn't come here for high income.Whim?Do you still like a certain star, or do you really want to be a literary youth?

After more than a year of doing chores, Li Shuyue gradually became familiar with the operating rules of this circle. There are very few people who are talented and capable of making roles, and whose names can last forever.Not only this circle is like this, but other circles, many circles are also like this, so why force too much.Since Xiao Ya entrusted her with the work, she will do it responsibly.For his professionalism, Shu Yue has always been dissatisfied and ashamed, and keeps charging.

After Mr. Chen left, the real regular meeting started on Monday. Shu Yue came to the big conference room with Chen Jiayi's resume in his hand. Xiao Ya, the CEO, and other managers attended the meeting.In Yushang Company, there are celebrity managers and ordinary managers.However, when assigning new artists, celebrity managers will not give priority to selection, but will comprehensively consider the characteristics of managers and artists, and let them choose from each other for combination and matching.

"For a manager, the artist is the product," CEO Kevin said, and he has said this many times. "The agent needs to be the artist's friend, comrade-in-arms, Bole, and the agent team is the star's production team." He pushed his glasses. "You need to understand the characteristics of the artists you bring, their specialties, and their potentials. Find all available resources for them, so that they have a chance to shine." He paused, "For example, there is a new artist, Chen Jiayi. After coming in, the agents present expressed their opinions and put forward some suggestions and opinions on her future development. Look at the projection." He said and pointed behind him.

"The height of 170 is not bad, but the appearance is average." An agent said.

"I don't have any talent, dancing and singing are not specialties," said another
"There are no other bonus items." Xiao Yang, an uninformed agent, said.

"Don't pick on the shortcomings of the product, but discover the potential. Be Bole, Bole, everyone." The CEO reminded everyone.

"Either play tricks in some low-level TV dramas first, to find out the feeling?" An agent suggested.

"No, I don't have any experience. It's too risky to be photographed rashly." The CEO shook his head.

"Participate in some variety shows and show your face? Show off your face? This will slowly impress the audience on her," another suggested.

"No, no, if you don't perform well, you will lose the audience." The CEO said shaking his head.

"Mr. Zhao, you can't do this or that. What do you want? What is the origin of this Chen Jiayi? Mr. Zhao is very nervous." Lao Zhou, a senior manager of the company, teased.In fact, he should already know Chen Jiayi's background. "Why don't you do this, first find some professional teachers for her to see, which aspect can be cultivated, take classes, observe, and then we will make detailed plans later."

"This plan is feasible," said Kevin Zhao, and finally someone understood what he wanted.

"You know that I know a lot of teachers in the circle. Vocal music teachers, dance teachers, and acting teachers are all well-known in the circle. I can contact the teachers."

"That's how it is. I'll talk to Chen Jiayi later. If she agrees, I'll belong to your group." Kevin Zhao said, "Your resources are suitable for her."

"Okay, listen to your arrangement!"

Xiao Ya's original intention was to let Shu Yue bring Chen Jiayi, and now it seems that Lao Zhou is also very interested, Shu Yue thinks that Lao Zhou's idea is very good, so he has no objection.Although Chen Jiayi's literary and artistic qualifications seem ordinary at the moment, but the capital behind it is strong, and the wily old Zhou will definitely not miss this opportunity.Ever since Shuyue airborne Yushang Entertainment, some senior agents in the company were not very happy. They felt that Shuyue was a related party, and they were arranged by Xiao Ya's side to help lead the current company's cash cow, Shulinyu. I gave back the shares, and I felt uncomfortable, and I was always envious and jealous.Shu Yue also feels that only by working harder and creating more benefits can he be worthy of Xiao Ya.So Shu Yue tried to keep a low profile, but Shu Yue's personality has always been neither fighting nor grabbing, and she really loves literature and art.I hope that through my own efforts, I can tap the potential of my group of artists, so that they can develop better and produce good works. After all, if you want to gain a firm foothold in your circle, you must rely on your works to speak.

"Let's discuss the stage plan of each agent group" Kevin Zhao continued the meeting process "Shu Yue, let's start with your group and talk about your development goals, plans, and strategies for Lin Yu. reserve."

Obviously listening to this is a normal meeting process, but Shu Yue also felt that Kevin Zhao seemed to be testing her today.

"Lin Yu's current number of fans is very stable, it can be said that he is the top stream in the circle," Shu Yue said.

"Then what kind of character design do you think is more beneficial to him?" Kevin Zhao asked.

"Lin Yu is handsome and unrestrained. He was educated in the West since he was a child. His parents are very well educated. He is a modest gentleman. He has a sexy voice. His singing voice is his unique talent. Why don't you work harder in this area to achieve a better quality? High attainment. In addition, I don’t think a star needs to set up a persona. Some of his inherent characteristics are what attract fans. If someone deliberately establishes a persona, there is a risk of someone’s design collapsing.”

"Then what qualities in him do you think will attract fans?" Xiao Ya asked.

"His straightforwardness, sincerity, not so eager for quick success, his respect for others, and his open democratic way of thinking. Fans generally start with appearance, only when the inner soul attracts others, can fans become loyal fans." Shu Yue said calmly

"It makes sense, so how to show these qualities of him?" Kevin said.

"You can find some reality show variety shows for him to participate in." Shu Yue said.

"I agree!" Xiao Ya's voice. "In addition, Uncle Liu's two-male drama "The Wind and Cloud of the Ancient Capital" was about to start last year, and the crew has been notified 10 days later. Before the start, the actors need to go through three months of training, and the food and lodging are all arranged by the crew. Shu Yue You and Xiao Zhang live near the crew, which is convenient for you to communicate with Lin Yu at any time. This is a costume drama, Lin Yu's first time filming a costume drama, it is estimated that the headgear will drive him crazy, and the lines are a huge test. Shu It's up to you and Xiao Zhang." Xiao Ya finished explaining in one breath.

"Let's discuss the development plans of other artists" Kevin continued...

The meeting lasted all morning and ended after lunch.This is the first time that Shu Yue expresses his point of view clearly.Since she was a child, she has always liked watching film and television dramas from various countries.Hepburn is the eternal princess in her heart, with a light, elegant and tall figure, and bright and pure eyes.Parker is the personable, sexy male reporter with deep roots; Bowman's childlike face is dignified; Gable's sly and wild; Streep's seemingly calm but penetrating acting skills.Natural and unpretentious, the charm of gestures and gestures is prominent, and the viewers are deeply intoxicated.At those times, Shu Yue would often get stuck in a drama and find it difficult to come out, and the fate of the people in the drama would affect him for a long time.Xiao Ya understands her, trusts her, and gave her a chance. She hopes that she can discover such a superstar, let her/his light influence and illuminate herself and the people around her, and bring everyone positive motivation.
